  Translation

  When they say there is going to be a big storm, so they say, in the wind that comes by there come men and women in the wind such that they come to carry off ears of corn for them to eat. Thus the milpas were left broken, quite flattened, with many ears of corn disfigured with a look like pustules. Those were the ears of corn that the Chilteopaners took, according to my grandfather and my grandmother.

• Yajika neurakaneros witzet de Chiltiupan, witzet kwikat elut pal kikwa, pero kunij muchiwket jregar por ke kimiktijket se siwapil wan kikwajket.

  Translation

  So, the "hurricaners" in reality come from Chilteopan; they come to take ears of corn to eat. But they were screwed up, because they killed the girl and ate her.
